A SONG-CALENDAR
BY A. L. C.

I

"When blood of autumn
Runs warm and red
In all the branches
Over head--
Sing clear bright sunshine,
And tender haze,
Sing glad beginning
Of College Days!

II

"When pines and spruces
Are bowed with snow,
When ponds are frozen
And keen winds blow--
Sing cozy corners
Or jingling sleighs,
Sing work or frolic
Of College Days!

III

"When comes sweet April,
With soft slow rain,
And earth has broken
Her frozen chain--
Sing low shy birdnotes,
And woodland ways,
Sing mirth and music
Of College Days!

IV

"When June days linger,
And warm winds blow
O'er fields of daisies
Adrift like snow--
Sing sad leave-takings
And tender praise
Of all the mem'ries
Of College Days!"

--Vassarion, '95.
